The BMW E9 is a classically beautiful car and arguably one of the best-proportioned coupes built in the last 50 years. This model was a kind of update/extension of the previous 2000CS Neue Klasse coupe and evolved from an original Bertone design, but with an extended wheelbase and nose to fit inline 6-cylinder engines. The problem with the E9, at least in later 3.0CS guise is that prices are now far, far out of the DT range. So how about a reasonably priced alternative to the Übercoupe? The 2800CS was an earlier 2.8 liter version that shared the body and most mechanical bits but can be found for a fraction of the price today. It will give the owner the same striking lines to admire and a much happier bank account. Find this 1970 BMW E9 2800CS here for sale in Berkeley, CA for $19995 via craigslist.
